CASEY P.O.V
I sat there waiting for what felt like an eternity. I wanted to her your voice again, See those sea blue eyes and feel the warmth from your hugs.I didn't want to be here right now. I saw Nate come up to us. I felt my heart stop with what he had to say. I turned around and saw Heath go white and Ricky just collapse to the ground.
I sat next to my baby sister. Years of hating her was not worth it. It was just time wasted. Time we'll never get back again.
"How long are you gonna lie around like a big baby" I said to her "With out you who am I gonna boss around, there's Heath but he can't take it. How about we make a deal, you wake up and I'll let you take a swing at me. It's a free pass right. You take your best shot I won't even hit back. I deserve that. I'm sorry"
HEATH P.O.V
"We need to tell Brax" I said to Casey as he sat next to her holding her hand.
"I've tried" He replied
"What'd they say"
"He got transferred this afternoon"
"That scum dog"
"Heath, can we not talk about it at the moment"
I looked at her. She looked so peaceful. It was just like she was sleeping.
JOSH P.O.V
"Hey" I said walking up to Jett, "Have you seen Lani"
He went quiet.
"Haven't you heard?" Asked John
"No, what happened"
"There was an accident"
"What kind of accident"
"She got stuck in a rip and when Heath pulled her out she wasn't breathing."
I felt my heart skip a beat. I ran out of there and got to Andy's car.
"Gimme your keys" I demanded
"Why" He teased
"Just give me them"
"You want to go see you little girlfriend" He teased again
I froze. How could he know. I snatched them out of his hands and got in the car. When I got to the hospital I didn't know if I should go in or not. I went in and saw Ricky waiting by herself.
RICKY P.O.V
I looked up and saw Josh standing in front of me. His face was wet from his tears.
"Josh what are you doing here?" I asked
"How is she"
I shook my head.
"I want to see her"
"I don't think that's the best idea" I said "Just wait here"
I saw Casey and Heath come out of her room.
"I'm ready" Said Casey
I saw Heath look past me. The look on his face instantly changed.
"What are you doing here!" He yelled
Josh was quiet and looked like he was about to cry.
"Heath don't" I begged
He grabbed him by the collar. He looked as though he was about to punch him but he didn't. He decided to let him go.
"Leave" He said walking off
We went into where Lani was. It was time to let her go. It was the right thing to do. You could feel that she was no longer there. I held her hand as we let her go. I loved her like a sister. This wasn't fair why did it have to be us. Brax may have cut me off but I was still part of this family. Now with Lani gone I didn't feel like that was true anymore.
"I love you" I whispered letting go of her hand
KYLE P.O.V
I never knew my sister. I feel sorry for Casey and Heath finding out about me the same day the had to let Lani go. I don't know if it's right or not to attend her funeral. I wonder what she was like. I wonder if she would have accepted me of rejected me. I guess I'll never know. Maybe I had left it too late or maybe what happened was meant to happen.
CHERYL P.O.V
I was sorry for the times Lani and I never got along. Looking back at it now it was just a lot of time wasted. Time I'll never get back. Back then I was always looking for the answers at the bottom of the bottle but there are no answers at the bottom of the bottle. I now have to say farewell to my baby girl.
BRAX P.O.V
I thought my lies would never hurt anyone. I guess I was wrong. It was a week before I could go back home. It should be me in Lani's position. I nrver wanted her last memory of me to be me in prison.
It was fitting to let go of her ashes at the beach. She always said if anything happened to her we would find her at the beach. She my have never seen her dreams come true but she can go anywhere now riding the waves around the world. I sat on the couch thinking,
"Was this my fault?" I asked Ricky sitting next to me
She looked at me shocked "No. It's no ones fault it was just the wrong place at the wrong time."
She put her hand on mine "I need to tell you something"
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing over out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
But the arms of the ocean deliver me.
Might be writing a new HAA fanfic. Has no name yet though but it involves the Braxton's (Who else would it be ;) )
